| | How to prevent Administrator account being deleted? Hi there, I set up a Vista with a Administrator, password protected account and then set up a Standard user account but at the moment I find that the Standard user account can delete the Administrators password and account how can that be? What I would like to do is have an Administrators account and a User account with Administrator privileges but I don't want the User account to be able to Delete the Administrators account or password. Is this possible with Vista Home Premium? Many thanks, Tim. |
